Gallery Observations
Basically, there are three types of visitors to QAG:
artist, the second is the one who doesn’t understand the art,
and the third is the person who doesn’t know anything about pure loiters.
The second group is the majority, mostly young people, who like art but don’t know much and want to know more. Artists are second, they focus on art, and occasionally talk to the audience. If the second class has the opportunity to learn more about art and meet their needs, it will greatly increase their participation.
